Old Fashioned Creamed Peas & Potatoes

To maximize my earnings from ad’s, I need to have 7 teal stars on my dashboard each morning. I consistently only have 4 teal stars, the others are green and yellow. That means I am getting paid less than I could be.

There is a catch to making those green and yellow stars turn teal – I have to write more in each blog post. The metrics I am measured on are determined by Google. (You wouldn’t believe how much control Google really has over what you see!) Google wants longer content on each post because they claim it keeps readers on the page longer. And when you (the reader) stays longer, advertisers pay more to have their ad seen. In turn, the blogger gets paid more.

I firmly believe a positive user experience is far more important than writing a bunch of fluff no one has time, or cares, to read. As a food blogger myself, I skip right to the recipe. I am of the mindset that I only need to say what needs to be said. Sometimes there are things I like to share that might help someone else, and sometimes I really have nothing to say at all because it’s just an average day. And that’s life, it’s okay. I’d rather be relatable than type on an on just to keep Google happy. I care too much about you to do that!

The blog is doing just fine despite going against Google’s recommendations for the length of my posts. I don’t do this for the money, I just happen to make money doing it. I do it because I love it, it’s what makes me happy and I love sharing recipes with you!

This recipe for Creamed Peas and Potatoes might be a weird or new one to you! It’s an older recipe. My Great-Grandma Smith used to make it for us when we were kids, except she added carrots and we called it Farmer’s Delight!
